16th Sep 2019, 12:54 PM – Representatives Treasury Laws Amendment (Putting Members' Interests First) Bill 2019 - Consideration in Detail - Extend time lines
Summary
EditThe majority voted against amendments introduced by MP for Whitlam Stephen Jones, which means they failed.
Senator Jones explained his amendments:
Why do we need to extend the time lines? It is because under the bill, as currently drafted, all of the funds are required to notify their members who fall within the class to be affected and then give those members enough time to advise them in writing if they wish to have their superannuation cover continued. The number of members who are under the age of 25 is about 15 per cent of the workforce, so it's a significant number of fund members indeed, and, if you're a fund in the hospitality industry or the retail industry, it could be as many as 50 per cent of the policyholders or the members within that fund. It is a significant burden of work indeed. Industry Super Australia provided evidence to the Senate inquiry on this particular matter. They have advised that it would be an enormous administrative burden that would very, very likely lead to mistakes and to members who wish to have cover falling out of cover because of that very short time frame.
